Zhang Jiawei: Curry opened the era of three-pointers and he influenced NBA teams to double the three-point shooting in 10 years

commentator and freelance writer Zhang Jiawei expressed his views on Curry on his personal video account. He believes that Curry has opened up a new era with his shooting. The specific content of his views is as follows:

I think Curry has many outstanding points and is the best shooting player in history. Yes, it's not just a three-pointer, I think he's the best shot in history. The 73 wins and MVP unanimous votes in the 2015-16 season may be the best regular season performance in history, and he should be the last person to win four championships as ace as a trump card.

But I think Curry's most meaningful figure is two numbers, one is 22 and the other is 38. In the 2014-15 season, each team in the NBA scored 22 three-pointers per game, while each team in the NBA scored 38 three-pointers per game this season, almost doubled! To a certain extent, Curry started this three-pointer era. We know that the NBA is actually a very realistic (league), and they will copy this model based on a successful experience. So after the Warriors won the first championship in 2015, Coach Gentry said that he told Mike D'Anthony that he succeeded.

Everyone said that jump shots can only win the regular season, and jump shots cannot win the championship, but Curry did it, and he won four championships at one time, so now all the NBAs start to shoot three-pointers with him. After Curry made a three-pointer, we found another point that in the previous 2014-15 season, you may not remember that there were Gasol, Big and Big, and Jordan Jr. The center of the first NBA team in the 2015-16 season was Jordan Jr. Now it is hard to imagine that a blue-collar worker could be the first NBA center.

But this is that era, and the space was not open at that time, so centers like Jordan Jr. are still valuable. However, after Curry started the three-pointer era, everyone made more three-pointers in each game, we see that Curry has succeeded in the years, Durant has succeeded, Leonard has succeeded in the Raptors, giants like Jokic and Giannis have succeeded, and even Embiid has won the scoring title last season with his three-point team.

Even when LeBron won the championship at the age of 35 in 2020, he actually relied on his amazing running and jumping ability, but his basketball quotient as the king of regular assists. It can be said that the past ten years have been both the best season for shooters and the best season for passers. Let’s look at the past 10 years, excellent passers such as Jokic and Luca, Dream Chasing, and Sabonis Jr. have enough space to display their skills. The past decade has been the most friendly era for those geniuses with average body but pure technology. And all this is caused by Curry.
